Demand in the domestic and international CEP markets is increasing owing to industry advancements and increasing e-commerce

• In an attempt to speed up mail and parcel deliveries domestically and internationally in the country, the Philippine Postal Corporation (Philpott) eliminated notification cards in 2021. It was a 75-year-old practice causing significant delays in deliveries. Earlier, the mail or parcel recipient had to receive a notification card before a parcel could be picked up at the post office, which would usually take about two to three months in order to be received. This caused delays and thus made door-to-door deliveries inconvenient. Some major domestic courier service providers in Philippines are LBC and 2GO Express, with over 1,000 branches each. The United States was the biggest market for apparel exports for Philippines in 2022. Overall, exports of articles of apparel and clothing accessories amounted to USD 789 million in 2022.
• In October 2023, FedEx expanded its presence in the Philippines, establishing over 1,100 outlets to offer customers more choices for sending their packages. The extensive network of FedEx Authorized Ship Centers (FASC) offers consumers numerous locations where they can drop off their shipments. The network consists of 792 2GO outlets, 335 SM Business Centers, and 25 Alfamart stores, all authorized to accept packages without additional charges.
